Beginning in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has since been the biggest issue in our society. Many people have been worried about the strong infection and also about the fact that no medicine was prepared. It has been especially challenging for western countries, because their numbers of confirmed cases are rapidly increasing even today. Too many infected people have spread out worldwide, so there will be a long period required to recover the situation.

However, the vaccine has now been invented. Many people are worried about the side effects of the vaccine, but there are no other ways to make the situation better. Health officials have said that the vaccines are safe, but that we should still consider each individual’s different bodily reactions. Individuals under 18 are prohibited from taking the vaccine, and the government is trying to grow immunity in the adult group. This will naturally affect the children’s group as well.

Officials have said that the vaccine is 66% effective toward the pandemic. The vaccine will relieve the situation by removing the requirement for individuals to quarantine for two weeks. Additionally, because there will not be a two-week recovery period, people will not lose time that they could be spending at work or exercising. Yet, even though the vaccine has been invented, people should still be careful by wearing their masks and upholding social distancing laws.
